ION, the trading and risk management solutions vendor, has successfully migrated Advantage Futures, a high-volume futures commission merchant, to its cleared derivatives trade processing platform, XTP. The transition marks a shift for Advantage Futures from its decades-old post-trade technology to a more advanced system, enabling extensive automation across clearing and settlement workflows. The XTP platform will aim to enhance the firm’s operational efficiency and provide clients with real-time visibility of positions, fees, margins, and risk.
Francesco Margini, Chief Product Officer for Cleared Derivatives, ION Markets, commented: “We are very pleased about our partnership with Advantage Futures, one of the industry’s highest volume clearing firms. The transition from their legacy back-office solution to XTP was completed in record time, leveraging ION’s established methodology and tools developed to manage large and complex migration projects. The Advantage-XTP rollout demonstrates ION’s proven track record in bringing new products to the market and the strong discipline required for a timely and successful delivery to customers.”
With over 5.3 billion contracts processed since its inception, Advantage Futures serves a broad client base, including professional traders, institutional clients, and hedge funds.
